Subject: [WSFA] A century of King Tut

King Tut's tomb was discovered a century ago yesterday, inspiring
everything from monster movies featuring mummies to action movies
featuring Harrison Ford.

It was 32 centuries old when found, 33 centuries old now.  But it was
part of Egypt's *New* Kingdom.  The pyramids were as far before Tut's
day as Charlemagne's rule and the Viking raids were before our day.
(Tut's tomb was not in a pyramid.)
